We had a \u201cprivate adventure\u201d with a group of just four of us friends spending an entire afternoon with a lazy day on the river being pampered by \u201cCaptain Chuck\u201d and his wife Rosana who treated us so well. I had read about the Bruma the year before but somehow thought it was maybe too complicated to get there, or too much for a small group of friends to take on in making the arrangements but Chuck and Rosana speak fluent English as well as Spanish, and everything was taken care of beautifully. They sent a driver to pick us up at the apartment in which we were staying (in Retiro) and after a pleasant ride to Tigre, we boarded the Bruma \u2013an impressively restored vintage yacht with a lovely sun deck, a shaded porch, rich woodwork interior and plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the tour of the Delta. We were served wine,soda and snacks throughout the early part of the cruise, and then reached the highlight of the trip: a fantastic barbecued lunch with steaks cooked on a grill , a great salad and delicious dessert. Chuck and Rosana are witty and interesting \u2013we enjoyed our conversation with them and felt as if we had been transported not to just another part of Argentina but to a more gracious time and way of life. It is easy to get distracted by the \u201cbig city\u201d and all there is to do and see in Buenos Aires, but we are so glad we made some time to sail away from it all on the Bruma!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
